Snapchat Superstar Makes A Living From Snaps

Snapchat Success Story

We have people making careers for themselves from the most
unlikely of revenues. Professional Gamers and streamers comfortably making six
figure salaries isn't out of the ordinary anymore. People and celebrities are
making huge profits with their big social media accounts. For example, Charlie
Sheen is paid $50,000 for promoted posts he tweets. Not bad, right? That’s more
than most of us probably make in a year, made from one tweet. I need more
followers.

Now, we have our first person who makes his entire living
solely from Snapchat. I wish I could get away with that, unfortunately I think
there’d be limited interest in getting sent a few pictures of my dog every day.

Shane McBride who goes by the Snapchat alias of Shonduras
gained a huge following on the picture messaging app thanks to his funny snaps
often accompanied with Snapchat art. He’s also been tagged as quite the
storyteller making good use of Snapchat’s ‘Story’ feature. It’s proven to be so
popular that Shane actually makes a living from his snaps.

In a video revealing his tricks, Shane commented on how he
enjoys Snapchat because it’s not driven by followers, likes and discussions. He
believes that most of social media discussion is driven by negativity and
causes people to be unhappy. Whereas Snapchat just revolves around sending
funny pictures to make people smile.

Take a look at the video here:

Shonduras’ Snapchat skills really highlight how we can make
a living out of just about anything nowadays.

He’s not the only one taking to picture based social media
to make a living.

There are two guys
in New York who make all their money by uploading pictures of their meals
to Instagram.

I remain a little perplexed as to how they manage to turn
over a profit when they’re eating out for every meal.

Though I can’t deny that I’m so utterly jealous of what they
do, I’m starving just reading up about them.
